Chapter 660: Galaxy Super Mecha WarsTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hong Dali"s intention was just to show Deca his mechas. After all, he depended on them to travel to s.p.a.ce when the High-Energy Electronic Collision Machine was ready. Hong Dali wanted Deca"s opinion on whether these two mechas could make it.
He didn"t expect Deca to have such a reaction—Aye, aye, aye. Were you intending to bite them with your teeth?
“Oh my G.o.d.” Deca felt completely defeated, with tears rolling down his cheeks. “Brother Dali, do you know how much your two mechas cost?”
“No.” Hong Dali shook his head matter-of-factly. “I only know that they are my modes of transportation. No one can touch it!” What a joke, as a super prodigal, didn"t the System say? Something that could be solved by spending ten dollars, he had to spend one hundred!
“One mecha is equivalent to our entire Starfleet…” Deca"s voice shook. “This Immium ore is a metal with the most spatial attribute in the universe. One kilogram is worth 160,000 Galaxy Dollars. Both mechas should add up to tens of tons. Oh my G.o.d… You have dozens of tons of these two mechs, my G.o.d… A few billion Galaxy Dollars! They are just modes of transportation to you?!”
Nonsense. When they evolved, they could blow up an entire star with one blow. A few billion were just peanuts!
“En.” Hong Dali nodded a.s.sertively. “In any case, they are just like cars. As a super prodigal, the most essential thing is to be cool! Not the best, but the most expensive!”
“I really…” Obviously, Deca was shocked. But he soon recovered and hugged Granzon"s leg, muttering. “Brother Dali, I have nothing to say. Other than its cost, do you know what else they can do?”
“Aye?” Hong Dali asked curiously. “What else can they do other than being my mode of transportation?” He suddenly realized. “Oh, right. Big Brother Deca, you called them mechas once you saw them. Are there many of them in the Universe?”
Remember Lin Chuyin mentioning that other than showing off, there wasn"t much these two mechas could do? By right, technology was so advanced in the Universe, they shouldn"t have things like that. Airs.h.i.+p battles should be the mainstream in the Universe?
“Of course it"s capable of more things!” Deca mocked at Hong Dali"s ways of reckless waste of good things. “Because technology is advanced in the Universe, most large-scale manual labor is done by robots. Usually, we require things for entertainment. This is where the mechas come into use…”
“Oh my G.o.d!” Everyone was shocked. “Do you fight with mechas for fun?”
“Will that kill anyone?” Hong Dali said in shock. “Real battles?”
“Of course they"re not real.” Deca took a deep breath. “In the Universe, it"s a big scene. The impact is huge if mechas really fought each other. But the thing is, in the Galaxy Virtual Network, there are mechas compet.i.tions! In a nutsh.e.l.l, the mechas use a dedicated scanning tool to scan the related attributes of the mechas into the virtual universe to compete in.”
d.a.m.n, so powerful! Doesn"t that mean they can fight whatever way they want to?
“Wow! Big Brother Deca, tell me more about it! How do you play?” Hong Dali was not concerned about other things. But fun stuff like mecha compet.i.tions was different! As a Planet-level super prodigal, he"d be an idiot not to join in the fun!
“In the virtual universe, in addition to our own people exploring the land to make money, the only other large-scale entertainment activity is the Mecha Wars.” Deca was excited when he spoke about this compet.i.tion. “Galaxy n.o.bles Beta Aliens are the agents for Mecha Wars, an entertainment activity in the virtual universe. There have been many kinds of games in the virtual universe. Mainly two types in terms of large-scale games. The biggest one is the King of Mecha Fighter. This is a one-on-one fight between the mechas, purely close combat. It uses a pyramid chart. Generally, there are 20,000 people taking part in this level-based compet.i.tion. The top prize is two million Galaxy Dollars. The other one is called Galaxy Super Mecha Wars, which is corps combat. A small corps is a squad of five mechas. The last surviving corps out of five thousand corps wins five million Galaxy Dollars.”
Two types of mecha compet.i.tions! One was one-to-one close combat. That was equivalent to Earth"s martial arts fighting.
The other type was corps combat, small corps combat. It felt good just thinking about it!
“Dali!” Tang Muxin got excited when she heard. “Let"s join the compet.i.tion too, okay?”
What she meant was to join the compet.i.tion to win the prize money. Although there were many stronger ones in the Universe, they might get lucky.
But Hong Dali shook his head decisively. “As a super prodigal, how could we partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tions ourselves—we can watch from afar! Aiyaya, such scary fighting scenes. I don"t dare to look!”
“I"ll die of anger!” Tang Muxin angrily pouted and turned away.
“Rest a.s.sured, rest a.s.sured.” Hong Dali looked at Deca. “Big Brother Deca, tell me more about it?”
“Actually, this Mecha Wars, when one-on-one on close combat, it is to show off each of their abilities.” What Deca wanted to elaborate, was the Galaxy Super Mecha Wars team battle. Deca beamed with joy when he spoke about it. “This Galaxy Super Mecha Wars is most exciting. This Super Mecha Wars, the smaller scale one consists of a few hundred to a few thousand small corps. That"s so-so. The larger-scale Galaxy Finals, that is really spectacular! It"s located in an inhabited stellar system in the virtual universe. Each of the two hundred to over a thousand advanced civilizations will send one or a few mecha corps. They will then blow things up into smithereens in the stellar system. When that happens, one or two planets would get blasted out occasionally. Sometimes when it gets really intense, the entire star can get blown up. It is really enjoyable!”
A mecha war in the stellar system! Two hundred to over a thousand advanced civilizations sending one or a few mecha corps. That would make up to a few million mechas!
Blowing things up into smithereens in the stellar system. Heck—Yes! We need to see this!
When Deca finished describing the mecha wars to Hong Dali, he smacked his lips in excitement. “If you could take part in the compet.i.tion, the scene alone would be sufficient to excite you. It"s a pity…” Deca said, dispirited. “You only have two mechas, it"s too few. It"s not even enough for a small corp…”
That was a problem. What if he wanted to take part when he was in the universe? It was good to be able to watch the compet.i.tion, but it sounded good to be able to partic.i.p.ate as well… What fun would it be to watch others fight…
As he thought about this, Hong Dali nodded decisively. “En, we must at least be qualified. That"s easy.”
He turned around and instructed Ling Xiaoyi. “Xiaoyi, get Tianying Car Company to produce one hundred Dark Angels. I have a use for them!” Hmph hmph. Mechas? Easy, rea.s.semble one. Little w.a.n.g Mo is a genius at controlling stuff. He shall be the man!
But we have a Dark Angel Astana Steel. The problem still exists…
If it were others, they"d be anxious. But with Hong Dali"s character, he was calm and slow. He soon thought of something. “Oh right, Big Brother Deca, you mentioned Immium ore just now. What is it? Is it really so expensive?”
“Immium is a metal that is currently known to contain the most Spatial Fluctuation Element in the universe.” Hearing Hong Dali"s question, Deca quickly explained to this country b.u.mpkin. “In the universe, because it is too broad, even the speed of light needs to be calculated in years. It is naturally impossible for ordinary s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps to surpa.s.s the speed of light. Therefore, the highest civilization in the universe has invented a s.p.a.ce Oscillation Device. In order to start this device, it requires Immium ore!”
“s.p.a.ce Oscillation!” Hearing that, Hong Dali was suddenly alert. His Elemental Shock was powerful enough. Wasn"t this s.p.a.ce Oscillation even more powerful?
Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and the others listened intently.
It was not easy. It was only now that they heard an alien talk about the universe. Curiosity killed the cat. This was not something easily heard!
“s.p.a.ce Oscillation, its related technology is controlled by the Galaxy n.o.bles Beta Aliens. The Star Wars.h.i.+p was known to be equipped with s.p.a.ce oscillation devices, s.p.a.ce oscillating engines are almost all created by Beta Aliens.” Deca was full of envy. “The Galaxy n.o.bles are the real aristocrats. Everyone must be respectful when they see them. Otherwise, they will be charged for being anti-Galaxy. It is a very serious crime.”
As he said that, Hong Dali and the others sucked in a cold breath together.
Disrespect to the Galaxy n.o.bles was considered anti-Galaxy, so scary?!
“Ah, I digress.” Seeing Hong Dali and the others" expressions, Deca grinned as he ruffled his hair. “I digress every time I mention the Galaxy n.o.bles. Sorry, sorry.”
He continued talking about s.p.a.ce Oscillation. “s.p.a.ce Oscillation is using s.p.a.ce oscillating engines to breakdown Immium ore, generating a strong s.p.a.ce distortion energy. Tearing a hole by brute force in s.p.a.ce, then using the protective s.h.i.+eld created by the s.p.a.ce oscillating engine to protect the stars.h.i.+p so it doesn"t get torn into pieces during the s.p.a.ce Oscillation. Of course, I"m not entirely sure how it works. This is all I know.”
He was not to blame. As Earthlings, we knew cars use petrol, but not anyone could describe the car engine in detail. That was what he meant in general. Deca knew about s.p.a.ce Oscillation, and he knew its principle. But he couldn"t describe how it worked exactly.
“Oh, simply said,” Hong Dali rubbed his chin. “If we want to travel between stars, we need Immium ore. Otherwise, we won"t be able to travel. Right?”
“En, something like that.” Deca nodded his head.
